Using JUnit Mocked ObjectMapper shows Null. java.lang.NullPointerException: objectMapper is null-CodePudding

First of all, I am new to UnitTest. When I mocked my objectMapper inside of the test. It returns me null. My last testes were same structure. I believe I am using the corrupted junit. Intellij may be confused.

Code ;

public class ApiAuthenticationEntryPoint implements AuthenticationEntryPoint {

    ObjectMapper objectMapper;

    public ApiAuthenticationEntryPoint(ObjectMapper objectMapper) {
        this.objectMapper = objectMapper;
    }

    @Override
    public void commence(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response,
            AuthenticationException authException) throws IOException, ServletException {
            Map<String, Object> data = new HashMap<>();
            response.setContentType("application/json;charset=UTF-8");
            response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_FORBIDDEN);
            String value = request.getAttribute("Exception").toString();

            if(value == "key incorrect"){
                data.put("code","1");
                data.put("message","api key is empty or incorrect");
                request.setAttribute("Exception",
                        objectMapper.writeValueAsString(data));
                value = request.getAttribute("Exception").toString();
            }


            response.getWriter().write(value);
        
    }

}

Test class;

@SpringBootTest
public class ApiAuthenticationEntryPointTest {

    private ApiAuthenticationEntryPoint apiAuthenticationEntryPoint;

    @MockBean
    private ObjectMapper objectMapper;

    @BeforeEach
    public void setUp() {
        MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
        apiAuthenticationEntryPoint = new ApiAuthenticationEntryPoint(objectMapper);
    }

    @Test
    public void commence() throws Exception {
        AuthenticationException authenticationException = Mockito.mock(AuthenticationException.class);

        HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest = Mockito.mock(HttpServletRequest.class);

        HttpServletResponse httpServletResponse = Mockito.mock(HttpServletResponse.class);

        Map<String, Object> data = new HashMap<>();
        data.put("code","1");
        data.put("message", "api key is empty or incorrect");

        Mockito.when(objectMapper.writeValueAsString(data)).thenReturn("1");

        apiAuthenticationEntryPoint.commence(httpServletRequest, httpServletResponse, authenticationException);
    }
}

It gives me the following error;

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper.writeValueAsString(Object)" because "this.objectMapper" is null

Also I should share dependency tree;

CodePudding user response：

I'm not sure of the usage of @MockBean but are you sure of that?

https://www.baeldung.com/java-spring-mockito-mock-mockbean https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/api/org/springframework/boot/test/mock/mockito/MockBean.html

Is your ObjectMapper a bean? If not you should you @Mock I think or Mockito.mock(ObjectMapper.class)

CodePudding user response：

If you use JUnit 4 try to annotate your test class with

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
